Opportunity Summary:
The Delta Science Program Sponsorship Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0018) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (DOI-USGS). It is categorized under the Environment funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.808. Based on the title and program context, the grant is intended to support sponsorship-related activities connected to the Delta Science Program, which generally focuses on advancing scientific understanding and decision-making for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and related California water and ecosystem issues.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments, meaning applications are intended to come from state-level entities rather than local governments, tribes, universities, nonprofits, or private organizations. The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument type, indicating that selected applicants would receive assistance funding rather than a procurement contract. The listing indicates an expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1), suggesting the agency anticipated funding one recipient for this sponsorship support effort rather than making multiple smaller awards.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on March 16, 2016, with an application closing date of March 26, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). This reflects a short application window of about ten days from posting to deadline, which is common for targeted, time-sensitive, or narrowly scoped sponsorship actions. The award ceiling is not specified in the source data provided, so the maximum potential award amount cannot be determined from the listing details alone.
The public description in the record states only "See attachment," which implies that the substantive details (such as the purpose statement, specific sponsored event or activity, allowable costs, reporting requirements, selection criteria, and any required forms) were provided in an attached document rather than in the main synopsis fields. To accurately describe deliverables, scope, and budget rules, that attachment would need to be reviewed, since the summary fields do not include those specifics.
